That’s… actually the kind of passive-agressive response I’d expect from the World Government. You survived three sanctioned genocides? Have a soft serve!
its crazy how many emotions Oda made me feel with a single chapter: satisfaction of the punch, sadness for Bonneys lost, anger for Saturans actions, fear from the buster call and so much love for Kuma
Saturn being able to regenerate from losing his arm and horn out of thin air by Kuma's Based Father Punch makes him look more demon than a Devil Fruit user.

It’s crazy how the Oden and Kuma flashbacks show basically the whole history of the world, if we weren’t left in the dark about what was in the journal and god valley. Those are pretty much the biggest two questions left in the story.
The panel before where Bonney was standing there crying and kuma's open arms is what made me emotional. Really mirrors a dad picking up an injured kid who's expecting to be comforted
“Zoro heavy arc” So far this arc Zoro has: - Taken a nap - Fought Kaku offscreen (interrupted by Stussy) - Fought S-Hawk offscreen - Fought Lucci offscreen

On a meta level, Kizaru is the ultimate troll character and I love and hate that about him.
Kizaru does do good by not doing any bad , that's his way and this chapter proved it.He got up , he could have flown over Luffy , stab his head with his lightsaber and end him , he could have finished off Vegapunk once he got up being the light speed man he is , he could have attacked Kuma for punching Saturn and he chose to remain on the defensive , just fighting the rest of the Straw Hats.He even says that they have grown. I am getting Lord Of The Rings Wizards vibes from all the Admirals , they're these extremely powerful beings , with supernatural beyond comprehension powers , "archangels" if you wish to call them that way (if the Seraphim isn't another Biblical reference lol) , but their role isn't the offensive , they're not some simple bitches or conjurers of cheap tricks to just end piracy , their role is to guide every nation to the right path so that the nations learn to stand yp to piracy not tolerate crime and even go against their oppressors the World Government that is. Because of the weed thing , Kizaru has to be Radagast.Akainu is definitely Saruman and Fujitora is most likely Gandalf. Since Aokiji definitely has been to Elbaf so that Saul returned safely to his homeland and has been to other places jumping like a traveler in the Grand Line , he has to be on of the Blue Wizards.

It's hard for me to get emotional watching one piece it's a masterpiece and an epic but it doesn't hit me the same as the pain arc in Naruto it's too Goofy to take that seriously for me
I really like that bit of defiant compliance from Vegapunk. He knew full well that when Saturn said “self destruct mechanism” he meant bomb, but he decided to defy the evil old man without breaking his contract. A permanent shut down command fits the criteria of a self destruct function without the unwarranted cruelty of exploding Kuma’s body.
I feel like a buster call had to be on Vegapunk's radar as a risk, Egghead Island has to have some sort of backup defense after the laser field for it.
Yeah it kinda felt like oda is describing his view and himself to some extent. There is some similarity i think between the mandated absence of kuma from his daughter to Oda's absurd work dedication to the series and how little he's actually with his family. Maybe he thinks he has the same sacrifice in spirit (as kuma)?
As much as I'm intrigued by the prospect of diving further into the Buccaneer lore it's kinda annoying that at this late stage of the game Oda still obsessively gives us half info dumps and constant blue balls. At this point I'm fairly certain that 95% of the One Piece secrets will be revealed in a montage at the last page of the final chapter. Like a check list for everything blue balled.
Info Dump on Laugh Tale is very likely. I guess we will spend a couple chapters just watching the void century story which will answer a lot of the questions. Since Vegapunk knows about the void century, probably will also answer the Buccaneer. Perhaps Joyboy was a Buccaneer.
If Kuma does make the sacrifice play, I'm keen to the idea that he'll have his Oden moment, too. Sinking into the water with the last remnants of Egghead with a large grin (the grin seems to be the real sign of rebellion)
Buccaneer's might become more physically stronger/physically resilient when coming to those they love. Kuma's father survived longer to protect his son, and Kuma prevailed to protect Bonney.
Idk what I would do without GLR. The last couple months in the One Piece youtube circle has been kind of dry content-wise. GLR seems to be the only channel not struggling to put out something new. I swear all of the big OP youtubers rn are pretty much only doing chapter reviews and then covering random things in the story that we already know about like talking about the yonko for 30 minutes. GLR has seriously become the best OP channel out there. Every video is great without fail.
thank you for getting straight to the point. its so hard to find a video without someone yapping about their view on the chapter and barley saying what happens in it
@@themidnightbanshee5927 its within the narrative and not direct characterization but kizaru doing the nika dance with everyone else at egghead is definitely the strongest evidence for it rn
There's a book series I read called The Three Body Problem. At the end of the first book, everything seems completely hopeless, with aliens justifiably stating "YOU ARE BUGS" through technology humans can't even conceive of. A police officer, grizzled guy, comes up with one thing. He points out that ants are bugs too, and in spite of humanity's millennia-long war on bugs, they've managed to survive. We have every possible advantage, but they live on. I'd love to see a similar sentiment communicated to this elder with the alien name, Saturn.
I still feel that Kizaru turning somehow is still a bit cope.. It could be that Im proven wrong by the next chapter, but I feel Kizaru's story is one of a man who is unable to grapple with his own conscience. Always sort of aloof and distantiating himself from the moral dilemmas playing out in front of him. Maybe his "cloudy" justice isn't cloudy because he can't know, but rather because he doesn't want to think about it. I think he is meant to symbolize the idea of that you're still making a choice even if you're refusing to choose. But next few chapters will probably show whether I'm right or not.
In the panel of someone mysteriously feeding luffy in 1103 there's a bowl of ramen off to the left side; It's what kizaru was eating when he arrived in 1089 and oda's used that as foreshadowing before (third cup of sake belonging to sabo).
I love how you can reference a lot from the Egghead arc to the Sabaody arc. Like the main details is happening in reverse, first Sentomaru and the newer versions of the Pacifistas are shown, then Kizaru appears, and only then does someone punch a celestial, or in this case, a Gorosei. Next thing you know Scopper Gaban appears out of nowhere similarly to Raleigh appearing.
did you guys notice that mostly every arc has a warlord. It's like the story is coming around every warlord from the very start. from weakest to strongest, and the only warlord left is Mihawk. His arc will be a banger
He said mostly. Every arc has either a world or an emperor, or builds towards one like Punk Hazard building Donflamingo and Kaido. I think you are correct if we even count newer warlord additions, we can had Law and can expect arcs for Buggy and Blackbeard
@@pablobuquet2534 yeah it is true but i think the original comment talked about having a backstory for these characters. We had backstory for Boa, Kuma, Donflamingo, Jinbe and kind of experienced Crocodile and Moria. Maybe we are owed a backstory for Mihawk too.
This chapter made me actually wonder whether, maybe, and just maybe, Oda will subvert most people's expectations and have Kuma not only survive Egghead, but also join the Strawhats himself and fulfill the old numbers theory.
9:20 My theory about Saturn taking such serious damage comes from comparing Haki to Nen in HxH. In HxH when fighting they use Ko, where they have to focus where their nen is on their body, constantly swapping between offense and defense. Similarly, I imagine that Armament Haki works in a similar way, and I believe it even came up in Laws fight against Vergo on Punk Hazard I think. However I believe that Saturn is completely relying on his regeneration for defensive measures, which is allowing him to use 100% of his Haki force on offense. At least, this is what I hope is the case, for reasons you've mentioned here.
9:27 I think this happens because whatever character can regenerate wouldn’t bother trying to defend themselves because any damage won’t matter cause they can regenerate
The buccaneer body is described similar to Blackbeard's weird body. I wasn't convinced by fan theories that Teach was a buccaneer but now I could accept that the trait buccaneers possess might have to do with multiple souls. Vegapunk can measure the weight of a soul leaving so would know for sure when Kumas humanity leaves, but he may have 2 more, similar to the theory that Teach has 3 souls to eat a devil fruit each
@Sheenifier maybe thats the reason Pacifista can use the laser attack from the Pika-Pika no mi. Maybe if Franky had a Devil Fruit, he would have died from installing the Radical Beam tech
Bucaneer have insane regeneration power and the Elders incorporated it to their bodies. That's why Kuma regains part of himself and Saturn's hatred to Kuma
@@M8V3N187 Punk Records is an area in the Labophase of Egghead which stores the brain of Dr. Vegapunk. It acts as a "library" which Vegapunk and his six satellites can remotely connect to, allowing them to share the same brain. -Chapter 1067
Saturn being completely unfazed is pretty scary, Kuma isn’t a weakling by any means! Logias being intangible is one thing, but damage regeneration is something only Marco was capable of.
Amazing how a Spider Demon who loses a limb with one punch has the nerve to call everyone else an insect. It may have been brief but I’m glad Kuma served up a nice tall glass of ‘fuck around and found out’ for ole Jay.
Two possibilites for the Buster Call Thingy as I see it: First: Egghead gets blowed up. Like planned. Strawhats and Bonnie get away but no more Eggyhead. Second: Luffy goes Nika and makes all of egghead bouncy. So the cannonballs go back to the sender. Or maybe somthing something CP0 and Kizaru
I like how the story handled the punch. We got Kuma's big cathartic moment, it actually did something, it didn't take out Saturn and undermine the threat he poses, AND it allowed for worldbuilding on the buccaneers, Saturn's powers, and vegapunk's morals themselves.
@@zakariyyamccullin1005he could of easily finish off luffy when hes out of juice or take care of the strawhats easily now that zoro is out of the picture busy with lucci.
Kuma right now is a classic example of the "Ship of Theseus" which is a paradox which states if a ship has every plank replaced at what point does it no longer become the original ship. In this case is this really Kuma? or just a fragment of him that remained? A Ghost in the shell, so to speak. Also regarding Kizaru, i got the impression from the chapter that he's playing it safe for the moment, not making any big moves against either side at the moment, waiting to see how this plays out before inevitably making his decision as i don't think he's made one yet.
The biggest takeaway from this chapter is that the Strawhats will have to completely eliminate, Cell style, the Gorsei to defeat them. Then again these are not the types of opponents that you can just destroy their dreams and allow them to continue hoping they turn a new leaf.
"The Navy's Buster Call, get rid of 99.9% of your problems with one golden snail!" (ineffective against strawhat pirates, side effects may include being included)
So, when Sakazuki fought Kuma in Mariejois and he whitebearded Kuma i thought he was dead, but it seems Oda has retconned that away, considering you can't see the battle damage in any of the kuma panels in subsequent chapters. Maybe he does survive this one. On the Buster Call topic, maybe the Egghead incident is Luffy Blanco defeating the ultimate Buster Call and showing the world that there's now a single power mightier than even the pinnacle offensive Marine strategy.
Two highlights for me. Everything about Kuma/Bonney, and Franky’s radical beam. Our best pervert took it a step even further by shooting Saturn with it. Definitely hope Franky is okay. Maybe he needs to be rebuilt by Vegapunk? Could be the long awaited upgrade Franky needs. Seraphim Franky? Sure is fun to speculate.
I remember Kuma being hooked up to machines when the RA had him, which I am assuming was from Lindberg. So I'm assuming those deactivated those shut down programs, I doubt intentionally, but that's what I'm going with.
I feel like we can take it a step further: not only would it inspire the Revolutionary Army of Kuma punching one of the Five Elders, but if Kuma were to die, then the news would enrage and send the two parties into a Civil War, possibly having the Straw Hats attention.
When they finally animate that epic punch you know we won't actually see it since they'll do a close up on kumas face and then it'll be covered by flashing lights and a beam for some reason
It was such a touching moment when Kuma reunited with Bonney I couldn’t stop myself from shedding a few tears. Also I believe that Caribou will play an important part in the defeat of Saturn and I think the person he is working for is none other than Dragon himself, I guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens.
I've been thinking for a while, what if the reason why kizaru is still carrying out his mission despite he's confliction is because he's locked in some sort of demon contract that you HAVE to do. Maybe the only way out of that contract is death.
I'm genuinely stoked at the idea of Caribou continuing to be the goat. This chapter makes it now seem less likely that Kizaru was the one to food Luffy, which means that there really is only one other possible choice who was already a known quantity on the island. So it's either Caribou, or someone so far out of left field we couldn't possibly predict them. I'm really hoping for Swamp Nakama though xD
15:00 Yeah, I always kinda wondered how that would go logistically if someone called a Buster Call on Alabasta. Which by now, is a surprisingly realistic prospect all things considered.
Kuma has the paw-paw fruit and can shift off pain, and memories, and I believe also explosions... like self-destruct bombs.. what I'm saying is that the punch was powered by, not only armament haki, but also all the power of thr self-destruct mechanism. I mean, he took Luffy's pain and held it for a bit before giving it to Zoro, so it's not too much to think he took all the explosive self-destruct power and hang on to a bit before wrapping it in some haki and giving it to Saturn.
It's a pitty that the last chapter before this long stop was the build up to Kuma's attack, because back then I was feeling all the rage and hatred towards Saturn, back now however, I was quite disconnected from the story after what felt like a month, so the punch was satisfying, but not all it could've been ahhaha
If Bonney hadn’t absorbed Kuma’s memory bubble wouldn’t Kuma have technically had an opportunity to return to “normal”? Assuming he doesn’t die or become physically destroyed beyond repair?
One thing I didn't fully grasp until a marine pointed it out in the chapter is that this is a slave, the lowest form of life on the planet, striking one of the Elder Stars, the most powerful known humans on the planet.
Kizaru not loyal to anyone he follows order from whoever is in charge if world govt falls he just follows the orders same amount under new govt that replaces them just how he did not care who got fleet admiral spot.
@@basillah7650kizaru looks like he'll be liberated by luffy just like how nico robin was, if you look at his story, he seems like a good guy who's trapped in the bad side of the world. He really doesn't like saturn and it is apparent, he doesn't want to kill vegapunk, sentomaru and bonney and kuma, he looks caring and feels like a protector of bonney and sentomaru story wise of course
I imagine the regeneration aspect is going to play out for all of the Elders, as well as Imu, because there is already some sort of precedent set for 'immortality' in the One Piece world via the Ope-Ope no Mi ability. And, if I were Imu, or any of the Elders for that matter, then forcing multiple people in a row to sacrifice themselves for us would be the wholly logical, albeit totally cruel, call to make. They don't comprehend the feelings of the insects they step on, you see.
What if the Blackbeard pirates that are there already sabotaged the ships? Or at the very least they could help stop the buster call since they're clearly there for something and they definitely don't want whatever it is to get destroyed
This is when Robin dies on the buster call and Yamato joins to help with the poneglyphs with her knowledge from Oden's journal, while Oda maniacally laughs and says "you wanted Yamato, right?" 😂
I am so happy that Oda gave Kuma this moment. Usually when a Manga ends on such a cliffhanger and a punch, the punch is worthless or blocked - but Kuma obliterated that insect. I can't even imagine how absolutely over-the-top the output of that punch was for him to tear Saturn to literal shreds. Now the question remains if Kizaru really did help or not, since he's back to attacking the Strawhats. Important to bring up here is that he didn't attack Kuma, Bonnie OR Luffy, so the point still stands that it's likely Kizaru helped Luffy get his strength back. There's clearly restraint in Kizaru's actions.
What if Vegapunk is wrong about the Buccaneer special trait, and it is actually the will of Kuma's devil fruit which took control of an empty shell of body just like Zoan fruits on objects. I know it is a paramecia but it literally gave him animal paws so you never know the twist.
I thought it could be a cat God mythical Zoan, as in Egypt, cat gods were protectors of the Sun God, Ra. But it's impossible, as the powers of Nikyu Nikyu no Mi were replicated with Green Blood, meaning it's a confirmed Paramecia
That punch fueled by pain delivered pain. I just love the perspective in that shot too. I also noticed the look in Saturn’s eye. The Kuma flashback into this moment could make its own 13 episode anime. A great chapter to ring in the new year!
It's hilarious that for someone claiming to be scientist, Saturn never really checked if there's a self destruct feature on Kuma planted by Vegapunk who did a pro-gamer move.
My guess (or theory) gonna be that Blackbeard either gonna get: A. Saturn's Zoan devil fruit, so he will have all three type of Devil Fruits, B. Kizaru died and he get his devil fruit, so he'll have both Dark and Light Devil fruits, C. Kuma died and he get his devil fruit, which will make him more OP than before (hoping not this one)
At this moment, Jaygarcia Saturn learned the hard way that even insects can bite.
Underrated comment.

I seriously can’t tell if Robin is soon to be most unlucky or lucky person for surviving three buster calls.
I feel like a buster call had to be on Vegapunk's radar as a risk, Egghead Island has to have some sort of backup defense after the laser field for it.
After reading the Kuma backstory and this chapter I feel that Kuma embodies Oda's ideals on fatherhood.
Yeah it kinda felt like oda is describing his view and himself to some extent. There is some similarity i think between the mandated absence of kuma from his daughter to Oda's absurd work dedication to the series and how little he's actually with his family. Maybe he thinks he has the same sacrifice in spirit (as kuma)?
the anime in 2025 is going to be unwatchable at this rate through all of the tears
As much as I'm intrigued by the prospect of diving further into the Buccaneer lore it's kinda annoying that at this late stage of the game Oda still obsessively gives us half info dumps and constant blue balls. At this point I'm fairly certain that 95% of the One Piece secrets will be revealed in a montage at the last page of the final chapter. Like a check list for everything blue balled.
Info Dump on Laugh Tale is very likely. I guess we will spend a couple chapters just watching the void century story which will answer a lot of the questions. Since Vegapunk knows about the void century, probably will also answer the Buccaneer. Perhaps Joyboy was a Buccaneer.
I have a feelings it's gonna be in an SBS.
If Kuma does make the sacrifice play, I'm keen to the idea that he'll have his Oden moment, too. Sinking into the water with the last remnants of Egghead with a large grin (the grin seems to be the real sign of rebellion)
Im wondering if a certain large bird with some influence on the world of One Piece saw that punch and is already putting in work...
A large sexy bird that can't fly.
@@theonlygoodlookinghabsburg2081 but his birds can.....
If he got a picture of Luffy in Gear 5 somehow, I'm sure Morgans has someone on or around Egghead to witness Kuma vs. Saturn
Buccaneer's might become more physically stronger/physically resilient when coming to those they love. Kuma's father survived longer to protect his son, and Kuma prevailed to protect Bonney.
Same thing happens to Luffy though
@@0nedukewell its speculated Joyboy was a buccaneer
@@lookbang226 very likely
That’s an awesome theory, I wonder if luffy and dragon are similar or have the same blood as kuma
look at Garp's body; a probability@@Nasaphox
Idk what I would do without GLR. The last couple months in the One Piece youtube circle has been kind of dry content-wise. GLR seems to be the only channel not struggling to put out something new. I swear all of the big OP youtubers rn are pretty much only doing chapter reviews and then covering random things in the story that we already know about like talking about the yonko for 30 minutes. GLR has seriously become the best OP channel out there. Every video is great without fail.
the journey animation at the end of the video was so cool, kudos to the team!
thank you for getting straight to the point. its so hard to find a video without someone yapping about their view on the chapter and barley saying what happens in it
No way, Shanks is finally back in the cover page, seems he is proposing to York.
Wow! Didn't realize u had a million subs. Congrats on reaching a milli!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words and I hope you enjoyed the video! :D
Caribou being the best supporting side character for several arcs now
Agreed. I think kizaru helping is a red hering
@@Colaschnittchen I never said such a thing, in fact I haven't seen a hint of Kizaru contemplating to switch sides
@@themidnightbanshee5927 he never said you did. just stated his own thoughts here
@@DudeJustWhy yep
@@themidnightbanshee5927 its within the narrative and not direct characterization but kizaru doing the nika dance with everyone else at egghead is definitely the strongest evidence for it rn
There's a book series I read called The Three Body Problem. At the end of the first book, everything seems completely hopeless, with aliens justifiably stating "YOU ARE BUGS" through technology humans can't even conceive of.
A police officer, grizzled guy, comes up with one thing. He points out that ants are bugs too, and in spite of humanity's millennia-long war on bugs, they've managed to survive. We have every possible advantage, but they live on.
I'd love to see a similar sentiment communicated to this elder with the alien name, Saturn.
I still feel that Kizaru turning somehow is still a bit cope.. It could be that Im proven wrong by the next chapter, but I feel Kizaru's story is one of a man who is unable to grapple with his own conscience. Always sort of aloof and distantiating himself from the moral dilemmas playing out in front of him. Maybe his "cloudy" justice isn't cloudy because he can't know, but rather because he doesn't want to think about it. I think he is meant to symbolize the idea of that you're still making a choice even if you're refusing to choose.
But next few chapters will probably show whether I'm right or not.
In the panel of someone mysteriously feeding luffy in 1103 there's a bowl of ramen off to the left side; It's what kizaru was eating when he arrived in 1089 and oda's used that as foreshadowing before (third cup of sake belonging to sabo).
I love how you can reference a lot from the Egghead arc to the Sabaody arc. Like the main details is happening in reverse, first Sentomaru and the newer versions of the Pacifistas are shown, then Kizaru appears, and only then does someone punch a celestial, or in this case, a Gorosei. Next thing you know Scopper Gaban appears out of nowhere similarly to Raleigh appearing.
did you guys notice that mostly every arc has a warlord. It's like the story is coming around every warlord from the very start. from weakest to strongest, and the only warlord left is Mihawk. His arc will be a banger
Wano had a which warlord?
Jinbe and Law (well both are former warlords).
He said mostly. Every arc has either a world or an emperor, or builds towards one like Punk Hazard building Donflamingo and Kaido. I think you are correct if we even count newer warlord additions, we can had Law and can expect arcs for Buggy and Blackbeard
@@dimitrisdallas4306 but that is only natural, because they hold the highest power for the people to see
@@pablobuquet2534 yeah it is true but i think the original comment talked about having a backstory for these characters. We had backstory for Boa, Kuma, Donflamingo, Jinbe and kind of experienced Crocodile and Moria. Maybe we are owed a backstory for Mihawk too.
The Charlos punch is still my favorite but this was very close for me and probably in my top 5 moments
This chapter made me actually wonder whether, maybe, and just maybe, Oda will subvert most people's expectations and have Kuma not only survive Egghead, but also join the Strawhats himself and fulfill the old numbers theory.
9:20 My theory about Saturn taking such serious damage comes from comparing Haki to Nen in HxH. In HxH when fighting they use Ko, where they have to focus where their nen is on their body, constantly swapping between offense and defense. Similarly, I imagine that Armament Haki works in a similar way, and I believe it even came up in Laws fight against Vergo on Punk Hazard I think. However I believe that Saturn is completely relying on his regeneration for defensive measures, which is allowing him to use 100% of his Haki force on offense. At least, this is what I hope is the case, for reasons you've mentioned here.
9:27
I think this happens because whatever character can regenerate wouldn’t bother trying to defend themselves because any damage won’t matter cause they can regenerate
The buccaneer body is described similar to Blackbeard's weird body.
I wasn't convinced by fan theories that Teach was a buccaneer but now I could accept that the trait buccaneers possess might have to do with multiple souls.
Vegapunk can measure the weight of a soul leaving so would know for sure when Kumas humanity leaves, but he may have 2 more, similar to the theory that Teach has 3 souls to eat a devil fruit each
If your theory holds, Kuma could've had two more powers like how Blackbeard did. Well never know tho
@Sheenifier maybe thats the reason Pacifista can use the laser attack from the Pika-Pika no mi. Maybe if Franky had a Devil Fruit, he would have died from installing the Radical Beam tech
@scarman1675 isn't he still able to swim
Bucaneer have insane regeneration power and the Elders incorporated it to their bodies. That's why Kuma regains part of himself and Saturn's hatred to Kuma
that'd at least explain the melting your face of - oh but it actually did nothing moment with akainu
no it's bs. Bucaneer know about Nika that's why Gorosei hate Kuma
nah
When have we ever seen Kuma regenerate himself? Regeneration and consciousness are 2 different things…
@GrandLineReview 15:26 I didn’t see Jinbe sailing with the crew in the outro was he in the water 🐳🧜♂️🏊♂️ lol or brook 💀
Is no one going to mention the fact that if they succeed in destroying the island they will effectively kill vegapunk because his brain is there?
Won't this also mean they would lose access to the Power Plant that makes the Mother Flame they need so much for their weapon?
@@M8V3N187 Punk Records is an area in the Labophase of Egghead which stores the brain of Dr. Vegapunk. It acts as a "library" which Vegapunk and his six satellites can remotely connect to, allowing them to share the same brain.
-Chapter 1067
Soooo…. Where is the giant robot, that awakened like 50 Chapters ago?
Saturn being completely unfazed is pretty scary, Kuma isn’t a weakling by any means! Logias being intangible is one thing, but damage regeneration is something only Marco was capable of.
Amazing how a Spider Demon who loses a limb with one punch has the nerve to call everyone else an insect. It may have been brief but I’m glad Kuma served up a nice tall glass of ‘fuck around and found out’ for ole Jay.
Two possibilites for the Buster Call Thingy as I see it:
First: Egghead gets blowed up. Like planned. Strawhats and Bonnie get away but no more Eggyhead.
Second: Luffy goes Nika and makes all of egghead bouncy. So the cannonballs go back to the sender.
Or maybe somthing something CP0 and Kizaru
I like how the story handled the punch. We got Kuma's big cathartic moment, it actually did something, it didn't take out Saturn and undermine the threat he poses, AND it allowed for worldbuilding on the buccaneers, Saturn's powers, and vegapunk's morals themselves.
kizaru was on the edge of a redemption then he jumped straight out of it
Kizaru is sandbagging. He is not trying to get things done at all.
@@zakariyyamccullin1005he could of easily finish off luffy when hes out of juice or take care of the strawhats easily now that zoro is out of the picture busy with lucci.
@@AlexGamingAlexGaming02nah luffy is that strong don't underestimate him
@@AlexGamingAlexGaming02 I’m happy he’s sandbagging! Kizaru is the epitome of what happens to fence sitters, they go to hell!
@@zakariyyamccullin1005keep coping
Kuma right now is a classic example of the "Ship of Theseus" which is a paradox which states if a ship has every plank replaced at what point does it no longer become the original ship. In this case is this really Kuma? or just a fragment of him that remained? A Ghost in the shell, so to speak. Also regarding Kizaru, i got the impression from the chapter that he's playing it safe for the moment, not making any big moves against either side at the moment, waiting to see how this plays out before inevitably making his decision as i don't think he's made one yet.
The biggest takeaway from this chapter is that the Strawhats will have to completely eliminate, Cell style, the Gorsei to defeat them. Then again these are not the types of opponents that you can just destroy their dreams and allow them to continue hoping they turn a new leaf.
Or throw him in the ocean?
I think they are for dragon to kill instead.
I really hope saturn dies this arc
The perfect opportunity for Blackbeard to swoop in, eliminate them, take their fruit (if any), and tilt the power scales in his favor.
@@babrad that would actually be perfect it sets him up to be a formidable antagonist as well
"The Navy's Buster Call, get rid of 99.9% of your problems with one golden snail!"
(ineffective against strawhat pirates, side effects may include being included)
Even with the help of 100 Marine Navy Battleships.
So, when Sakazuki fought Kuma in Mariejois and he whitebearded Kuma i thought he was dead, but it seems Oda has retconned that away, considering you can't see the battle damage in any of the kuma panels in subsequent chapters. Maybe he does survive this one.
On the Buster Call topic, maybe the Egghead incident is Luffy Blanco defeating the ultimate Buster Call and showing the world that there's now a single power mightier than even the pinnacle offensive Marine strategy.
Two highlights for me. Everything about Kuma/Bonney, and Franky’s radical beam. Our best pervert took it a step even further by shooting Saturn with it. Definitely hope Franky is okay. Maybe he needs to be rebuilt by Vegapunk? Could be the long awaited upgrade Franky needs. Seraphim Franky? Sure is fun to speculate.
In a Buster Call, always bet on Robin.
And the Straw hats
I remember Kuma being hooked up to machines when the RA had him, which I am assuming was from Lindberg. So I'm assuming those deactivated those shut down programs, I doubt intentionally, but that's what I'm going with.
Saturn pressed the button.
Saturn got destroyed.
I accept that as self-destruction, nothing to blame on Vegapunk.
I feel like we can take it a step further: not only would it inspire the Revolutionary Army of Kuma punching one of the Five Elders, but if Kuma were to die, then the news would enrage and send the two parties into a Civil War, possibly having the Straw Hats attention.
Saturn’s fruit is giving Marco’s a run for his money 😂
I think its looking better than marco's healing
"Sanji has a habit of cooking for rats".....Mice. They are mice, not rats. Trust me, not even Oda can make rats look nice.
Liam you upload at the worst times it’s 5:30 in Detroit
With that being said thank you for daily injections of one piece content please never change
When they finally animate that epic punch you know we won't actually see it since they'll do a close up on kumas face and then it'll be covered by flashing lights and a beam for some reason
It was such a touching moment when Kuma reunited with Bonney I couldn’t stop myself from shedding a few tears. Also I believe that Caribou will play an important part in the defeat of Saturn and I think the person he is working for is none other than Dragon himself, I guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Remember that there is still a Blackbeard Pirates ship somewhere around egghead waiting to make its move.
And just like that Sanji is back to #3. He kicked a celestial dragon. Once all is said and done, it’s back the monster trio.
I've been thinking for a while, what if the reason why kizaru is still carrying out his mission despite he's confliction is because he's locked in some sort of demon contract that you HAVE to do. Maybe the only way out of that contract is death.
I'm genuinely stoked at the idea of Caribou continuing to be the goat. This chapter makes it now seem less likely that Kizaru was the one to food Luffy, which means that there really is only one other possible choice who was already a known quantity on the island. So it's either Caribou, or someone so far out of left field we couldn't possibly predict them. I'm really hoping for Swamp Nakama though xD
15:00
Yeah, I always kinda wondered how that would go logistically if someone called a Buster Call on Alabasta. Which by now, is a surprisingly realistic prospect all things considered.
Honestly i think the shift to regenerative powers is gonna be a nice change of pace after the tank-fest that was wano.
Kuma has the paw-paw fruit and can shift off pain, and memories, and I believe also explosions... like self-destruct bombs.. what I'm saying is that the punch was powered by, not only armament haki, but also all the power of thr self-destruct mechanism. I mean, he took Luffy's pain and held it for a bit before giving it to Zoro, so it's not too much to think he took all the explosive self-destruct power and hang on to a bit before wrapping it in some haki and giving it to Saturn.
"Gomu Gomu not going to appear in this chapter"
It's a pitty that the last chapter before this long stop was the build up to Kuma's attack, because back then I was feeling all the rage and hatred towards Saturn, back now however, I was quite disconnected from the story after what felt like a month, so the punch was satisfying, but not all it could've been ahhaha
If Bonney hadn’t absorbed Kuma’s memory bubble wouldn’t Kuma have technically had an opportunity to return to “normal”? Assuming he doesn’t die or become physically destroyed beyond repair?
So true, didn't even think of that@Axlplayz14
One thing I didn't fully grasp until a marine pointed it out in the chapter is that this is a slave, the lowest form of life on the planet, striking one of the Elder Stars, the most powerful known humans on the planet.
Kizaru is a wild card, I’m still unsure if he will switch sides
Kizaru is sanji's admiral match up he not switching sides his justice is pretty much just following orders justice.
Kizaru not loyal to anyone he follows order from whoever is in charge if world govt falls he just follows the orders same amount under new govt that replaces them just how he did not care who got fleet admiral spot.
@@basillah7650kizaru looks like he'll be liberated by luffy just like how nico robin was, if you look at his story, he seems like a good guy who's trapped in the bad side of the world. He really doesn't like saturn and it is apparent, he doesn't want to kill vegapunk, sentomaru and bonney and kuma, he looks caring and feels like a protector of bonney and sentomaru story wise of course
I imagine the regeneration aspect is going to play out for all of the Elders, as well as Imu, because there is already some sort of precedent set for 'immortality' in the One Piece world via the Ope-Ope no Mi ability. And, if I were Imu, or any of the Elders for that matter, then forcing multiple people in a row to sacrifice themselves for us would be the wholly logical, albeit totally cruel, call to make. They don't comprehend the feelings of the insects they step on, you see.
What if the Blackbeard pirates that are there already sabotaged the ships? Or at the very least they could help stop the buster call since they're clearly there for something and they definitely don't want whatever it is to get destroyed
This is when Robin dies on the buster call and Yamato joins to help with the poneglyphs with her knowledge from Oden's journal, while Oda maniacally laughs and says "you wanted Yamato, right?" 😂
I personally can’t wait to see what happens. Does Kuma have enough will to recognize Luffy if not how will Bonnie react to Nika
fav moment was when straw hats took up to defend kuma while voicing that they realize he always just wanted to help them
Nah no way the Gorosei have reverse cursed technique man 💀
I am so happy that Oda gave Kuma this moment.
Usually when a Manga ends on such a cliffhanger and a punch, the punch is worthless or blocked - but Kuma obliterated that insect. I can't even imagine how absolutely over-the-top the output of that punch was for him to tear Saturn to literal shreds.
Now the question remains if Kizaru really did help or not, since he's back to attacking the Strawhats. Important to bring up here is that he didn't attack Kuma, Bonnie OR Luffy, so the point still stands that it's likely Kizaru helped Luffy get his strength back. There's clearly restraint in Kizaru's actions.
What if Vegapunk is wrong about the Buccaneer special trait, and it is actually the will of Kuma's devil fruit which took control of an empty shell of body just like Zoan fruits on objects. I know it is a paramecia but it literally gave him animal paws so you never know the twist.
I thought it could be a cat God mythical Zoan, as in Egypt, cat gods were protectors of the Sun God, Ra. But it's impossible, as the powers of Nikyu Nikyu no Mi were replicated with Green Blood, meaning it's a confirmed Paramecia
That punch fueled by pain delivered pain. I just love the perspective in that shot too. I also noticed the look in Saturn’s eye. The Kuma flashback into this moment could make its own 13 episode anime. A great chapter to ring in the new year!
It's hilarious that for someone claiming to be scientist, Saturn never really checked if there's a self destruct feature on Kuma planted by Vegapunk who did a pro-gamer move.
Vegapunk did put a self destruct feature. It’s just not a bomb
My guess (or theory) gonna be that Blackbeard either gonna get:
A. Saturn's Zoan devil fruit, so he will have all three type of Devil Fruits,
B. Kizaru died and he get his devil fruit, so he'll have both Dark and Light Devil fruits,
C. Kuma died and he get his devil fruit, which will make him more OP than before (hoping not this one)
